Memory keeper. Mostly music, some movies, series, video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
This. Is. Beautiful. Intimate, soothing, calm, enchanting. And all that without the slightest trace of being cheesy, wearing any fluff or trying to be over the top mainstream chillout. Cannot help to replay right away. This is a gem.
Say this first: worst album cover of the year. Now, as for the music it is definitely different from the first album but still something great. It may not even be possible to see this as a follow-up to the first Kuedo record, but rather a piece in the larger context of the life of Jamie Teasdale. Many flavors mixed in but this is misterious in many ways. Electronic, synths, and probably the most beautiful tracks are the ones resembling Vangelis in the era of the Blade Runner soundtrack. And then there are those few tracks which are the most shit-your-pants soundtracks of a horror movie and you may not want to listen to those at home alone.
Just until now I didn’t know this thing even exists. Two tracks, 12 minutes each. It is an epic.
Two tracks (The Governor and Three Sides of Nazareth) on this album are completely off here that you don’t see coming, and still, crown jewel. Ambience, electronic music, rythm of dub (in No), and then these two post-punkish upbeat things I cannot really classify into a genre.
Eclectic electronic with some heavy old-edIT kind of glitch beats, some ambient textures and noiseful IDM, some instrumental hiphop tempo, and even some chill psychedelic tunes here and there.
Looks like I just re-discovered the Hymen Records catalog.
Part intimate, part exploration. Ambient and glitches and noises.
Eclectic electronic: retro futurist synthwave, ambient, downtempo, electro, jumpig back and forth. That said it is not a very coherent album, but tracks are fine.
This is the best compilation album I have heard in quite a while. Didn’t know any of the artists and now have albums queued from all of them. This is a gold mine.
Max Richter created a composition called Sleep, which is 8 hours long. There are a few occasions when it is played in its entirety live. Could be one beautiful experience to listen to it played all the way long. Anyhow there is a remixes album with the remixes of three segments making fifteen pieces altogether. It is just wonderful. Although I am always stuck at the first piece called Path 5 and its Mogwai and Digitonal remixes. Stunning, soothing, a cradle, a womb. I haven’t felt this way for an ambient song for a long time.
Experimenting around electronics this album is heavy, atmospheric, deep, powerful. Has a certain world-creating feel to it like that of the Fuck Buttons, but with certain patches of softness, like a caring god touch the void with hands able to destroy yet also create tender lives.
